Yes DHCP reservation. And it will allow you to know the IP address in advance so you can do your hostname to IP mapping via a hosts file, configuration on your router, etc.
Nothing against static IP of course; but if there are problems or complications doing that I'm failing to see significant downsides to the DHCP reservation approach. It accomplishes the same thing only on the router side. Some downsides might includes if the device is moved between networks (but then it's often questionable that you really want static IP anyway) or if the router is down for some reason and your devices needs to renew it's DHCP assignment (like your restarted it or it timeout out or whatever) and you still want peer devices to be able to communicate. But this seems like quite a corner-case situation - could depend on network setup I suppose. -Jeff -- jdoering ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jdoering's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17482 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72803 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
